seems To have always had the best OF Us, whether
boundaries or fisheries have been IN question An
admirable biographical sketch OF John G. Deane.
Of Maine, whose valuable services in aiding To
establish the northeastern boundary OF the United
States are historical recently published for private
circulation by his son, Llewellyn Deane OF this

A Hotel Clerks Hard E.oi.

l suppose you think it is very
pleasant for the chief clerk OF u
thriving hotel to sit all day on high
stool and fan himself while the sun
is coquetting with the 9os, and so it
would be il that were all chief
clerk had to do, but 1T isn't--not by
a quart pitcherfnl, it isn't. The
hardest thing a clerk has to do 10 to
look pleasant every time be is spoken
to. The proprietor expects it and
the public expects II. I've kink in
my neck now that 1 got from laugh
ing at an old chestnut sprung on me
a little while ago by a Cincinnati
drummer. II hadn't laughed until

Selecting Enginecrs.

One great mistake that many
young men make is their idea that
as soon as they can start an engine
and pnmp, aud build O fire that will
make steam, change the water in the
boiler and get some idea Of the nc
tion OF the lever as applied to a safety
valve, they are valuable engineers,
and sit down contented with their
knowledge, but very discontented
with their pay, and constantly look
ing for place that pays better, or
demanding OF their employer TO pay
them more than they are worth. A
man who can only go through rou-
tine Of days work is not valu-
able man. In some quarters an opin-
ion prevails that there is a wonderful
paDacea in q license. With all there
has been sand on this subject 1t is q
little lBdicrous that when tho United
States inspectors made tho rule that
applicants for license shcnld under
stand the supports, or braces neces-
sary for fiat services, to sec mechan-
ical papers having SO many questions
as to how tho calculation was made.
